And plenty of other professionals. I'm a medical technologist in training and they certainly have a small medical facility on the site that needs to be staffed. Or if this specific site doesn't, other larger, more established sites certainly do.
My colleague was suffering from routine and repeating patterns in her life and looked for a new interest to pick up. She is now an avid B1M viewer and has made plans to travel to Norway, NYC and London after watching your videos (at work at times!) You guys may have changed a bored mother's life for the better, she is now more driven and motivated...I can't tell what other influences there were obviously but ... I like to think you played a major role there !
I consider myself privileged to have been invited to work there in 1996 as part of a team. We were building a laboratory block and living accommodation for the British Antarctic Survey scientists that are stationed there. It was absolutely breathtakingly amazing. It took 13 days to get to work from the UK by plane and ship! To see killer whales, Adele penguins and seals in their natural habitat was so special.We spent Christmas and new year there and although i was only there for 10 weeks the experience will stay with me forever. Keep up the good work :)
When I was studying mechanical engineering and procrastinated by watching House or Suits I really wished there was a show that would motivate and inspire me to get back to the books. But now I’m watching B1M instead of finishing of that stage 2 report 😹
It's weird, I never expected excavators and other construction equipment to be on Antarctica, but it totally makes sense. This was a real eye-opener and another great video!
@@provenxreaperx Tractor means a lot of things in American English, from generic general purpose farming vehicles to the large wheeled vehicles that haul trailers also known as semis and yard goats. I asked why you said it was unexpected that Americans use tractors.
@@DevinHeida This isn't correct. I was a scientist, but the majority of people are support staff. They have cleaners, chefs, plumbers, chippies, cleaners. The lot.

Absolutely amazing video. One of your best yet! Quality, writing, presentation, editing all as good as, or better than, NatGeo, Discovery, etc. Superb!! Thank you.
I've seen quite an effective demonstration that BAS have of the need for bio-security. In the small aquarium at their HQ in Cambridge they have one tank where every single thing living in it originated from a single bucket of sediment that they brought back Antarctica.
Did they actually put the wrong name on the boat? Even though they committed to the Vote? Ridiculous, kind of like debating Brexit after the referendum.
777jones they named one of the submarines on the Sir David Attenborough, Boaty McBoatface. They decided against naming the ship as they thought it wouldn’t be appropriate for such an important science vessel
jasonvii precisely the argument against Brexit. The people voted for it, but the result is inappropriate in the eyes of the few. Boaty Mcboatface was the winner of the contest that was held. It would have brought millions more people’s attention to the project. Especially young people.
@@ChocolateFrog They were originally asking for the name of the ship. They went with the third option for the ship. The fact that they named one of the support submarines the #1 choice a support submarine is a disgrace. Like I said: the riots will start on Tuesday.
It takes 6 months when the planets are aligned just right it takes something like 6 years to be in position to launch again. In short it takes a whole lot longer than 6 months.
@@brainwashingdetergent4128 No it takes about 2 years for the planets to be aligned right. So every 2 years you have a launch window where you can go from Earth to Mars, and that journey takes about 6 months. The only viable way of building anything their is using local materials, the Mars colony has to be near autarcic because imports from earth are so expensive and unpractical.
I am awestruck at what a massive undertaking this project is. I tip my hat to all parties involved. The level of intelligence and ZERO margin for error that has gone into a project like this is nothing short of phenomenal. To be so isolated for so long whilst working under such harsh conditions is not something any one person could handle. I look forward to seeing the updates on this project and god bless you and all your families for the strength, nerve and ingenuity this takes!
I am in the middle of teaching my class when the notifications popped up. I looooooooonged for the end of the lesson so I can watch this properly now (lunchtime). Awesome videos to accompany my risotto with seabass fish.

Fantastic video as usual. Such brilliant footage and commentary really captures the story and feeling of what would otherwise be an isolated situation. Thank you for sharing and keep up your wonderful work.
Great video! I always look forward to Wednesday mornings and seeing what you guys have posted. And Fred's voice is equal to David Attenborough as far as narration. Well done!
As always, incredible video @The B1M! I can’t help thinking that this is the closest project we have to something that would be built on the Moon or Mars. Antartica is so remote, might as well be off world! Love and lots of respect to those who chose to name the ship Sir David Attenborough! Well deserved recognition to someone who has influence millions about loving and caring for the environment!
Really nice piece. Well structured, nicely produced with beautiful shooting. A solid documentary all around. But I sure missed the actualities from the field footage. Hearing the natural sound from that powerful footage could have added depth to the storytelling, raising the effectiveness of the package all the more. Keep up the good work. The time and effort spent cobbling this together was well worth the results.
"continuity of the teams"...this is a remarkable logistical feat. this wharf project is almost like what it would be on off planet building in new planetary vistas: many platforms and protocols are being developed. take note.
At 11 minutes your security measures are by far the best that I've seen in a long f****** time kudos for you I absolutely appreciate the fact that you thought about preserving the natural environment the way that you have respect

@B1M this video has taken your presentations to another level. Was it undertaken by yourself or is it using stock footage and interviews from somewhere else? because if its you guys i wish there was a way to nominate it for a UA-cam award for production values, quality of content and information. Just next level video...well done all at the B1M.

I work as a field engineer supporting oil and gas construction. We have had some pretty remote sites with 0 supply chain, nearest medical assistance is 45 minutes, parts can be days away. It is a challenge, our clients have been large enough to either establish their own supply chains or contactors move in, sites are standardized thus parts are on hand and we have had years of practice. Remote construction is hard specially with just 1 project. Would be interesting to see in person.
Wow. im in construction, I drive a 6x6 bell 45ton. I never thought I'd see these types of trucks being used in a place like that. I agree with the narrator that'd be the project of a lifetime.

Good to see a new wharf going in at Rothera, will be a great addition to a fantastic place to live and work. Good luck to all for the forthcoming season
Scientists trying to study so called man made climate change using all the equipment they say causes it in the environment the most easily affected by it, seems ironic to me.

2:17 you mean *Boaty McBoatface* ?
You beat me to it
Did they actually put the wrong name on the boat? Even though they committed to the Vote? Ridiculous, kind of like debating Brexit after the referendum.
So David attenborough is single handedly responsible for brexit.

Now imagine the complexity of a construction project on Mars, where it take 6 months just to get there.
I think that would require most of the building materials being made there since logistics are so different.
Nice comment. Hopefully in the near future with vasimr engine it'll take only 23 days :)

Wow, a 10 year contract can either be a blessing or a curse. Hopefully they have some really good trade partners.
Yeah they have every military arm that signed the Antarctic Treaty
There go the UA-cam expertise that know everything .... You don't want to offend them they will feel under attack with such comments.
We need to appreciate what these people do on these other worldly places.
To think the Sir David Attenborough was voted to be called BoatyMcBoatFace! Would’ve been incredible
This is without a doubt, the best heavy industrial/heavy industry construction channel on UA-cam.
